Comic Description
This is a French 'Cine-roman', a comic-style magazine that uses film stills (photographs) rather than hand-drawn art to tell the story. This issue, 'La Loi de Robin des Bois' (The Law of Robin Hood), likely adapts a Western film of the era, possibly a localized title for an American B-movie western.
Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Good (CGC 2.0)
Condition Details
Heavy wear including a large '45' written in red ink on the front cover. Visible spine splits and stress lines. Significant corner blunting and creasing on the bottom right. General foxing/soiling on the white background and surface dirt.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $15.00. Graded: N/A (negligible market for graded copies of this niche title and condition).
Recent Sales
Comparable French 'Petit Format' or 'Cine-roman' issues from the late 50s typically sell for 3 to 10 Euros on European auction platforms like eBay FR or Delcampe.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading would significantly exceed the market value of the book. Recommended for personal collection or reading.
Notable Features
Features a 1950s cowboy aesthetic with a photographic cover. Notable for the French price marking (80 Fr.) and the 'Cine Aventures' branding which focused on cinematic adaptations.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1959 printing. The paper shows natural age-related tanning and the cover gloss is consistent with the budget printing techniques used by Editions de l'Occident.
